An acid is a chemical substance that has a sour taste and is corrosive if concentrated. It has a pH value less than 7. It turns blue litmus paper (pH indicator) red. Citric acid is a common acid found in lemon.

Alkali and base are the same thing. An Alkali is a chemical substance that has a soapy feeling and a bitter taste. It is corrosive if concentrated. It has a pH value greater than 7. It turns red litmus paper blue. Alkalis are commonly found in shampoos. The burning in eyes when such products get into eyes is caused by alkalis. Sodium hydroxide is a common alkali.

Reil [10]

Answer:

Ion-dipole forces

Explanation:

Na⁺ is a cation, that is, an ion with a positive charge.

NH₃ has polar covalent bonds (due to the difference in electronegativity between nitrogen and hydrogen). According to the VESPR theory, it has a trigonal pyramidal shape with a lone pair. As a consequence, it has a net dipole moment and the molecule is polar.

The intermolecular forces between Na⁺ (ion) and NH₃ (dipole) are ion-dipole forces.

Which type of element is not likely to react chemically with other elements to form a compound?
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

The noble gases with complete outermost shell electrons.

Explanation:

Noble gases or inert gases do not react chemically with other elements because they have a complete configuration of their electronic shells. What drives chemical reaction is simply the exchange of electrons between two or more atoms. It can be a loss, a gain or simple sharing of electrons in order to achieve a complete configuration just like those of noble gases.
